Another London Film Festival success, Africa United tells the story of three Rwandan children, who set off to their capital city of Kigali to audition for the opening ceremony of the 2010 World Cup.

The children are Rwandan football prodigy Fabrice, his best friend and ‘manager’ Dudu and, of course, Dudu’s little sister, Beatrice.

To make the journey they sneak onto a bus but it’s the wrong route and instead of arriving in Kigali, they end up in the Congo. The children know they have missed their audition, so instead decide to head straight to Johannesburg, in South Africa, for the opening ceremony. Their travels – through Rwanda, Congo, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa – reveal a side of Africa few people ever see.
